The City of Manzini offers a number of parks and gardens within the city centre. There is the Civic Office Park just below the Municipal Council offices and the recently built King Sobhuza Memorial Park (popularly known as the Millennium Park) further down across Mhlakuvane Street.

At the heart of the city centre there is the Jubilee Park which also offers a relaxed and refreshing environment. There are pockets of similar facilities in most of the neighbourhoods around the city where residents usually have fun.

For those who prefer to unwind through reading, there is the Manzini Library situated at the corner of Sandlane and Nkoseluhlaza streets. The facility offers a relaxed environment with guests having a variety of reading material at their disposal. At the moment the City of Manzini is without a cinema following the unfortunate closure of Guilios Cinema some years ago.
